*ALL* players on your team MUST attend the same high school. Public high school teams may also include private and home schooled players who would attend that high school were they to enroll in public high school, plus Junior High School players who will attend the same public high school. (Teams from multiple public high schools in the same school district are NOT eligible.)

New in 2011-2012 Season: Pick-Up Teams!

Don't have three players at your school? You can sign up for any local event as an individual, and we will put you on a team with other individual players. (NCPA picks the teams; you can't request who you want to play with.)

That is up to the field... you can practice wherever and with whatever you;d like, but I'm pretty sure that the practice shortly before tournaments will most likely be Field Paint (and maybe BYOP) -- but no reballs.
